It was only 2 months as I planned a move to Australia and the car had to go, and to a good home I might add, possibly a member on here. It was originally a Guernsey car car but then became a Jersey car. It w...

Members from Jersey
Hi,
Just moved to Jersey lately and I am wondering if there are many members from here. Also I am looking for an E30 run around while I'm here, would like a 325 if any about.

Thats right, the father in law had a garage there, but closed it 8 years ago, he's actually building a few houses in inishnee now, and moving into one of them, He probably knows your family. Some fella from dublin is buying the garage for landing and storing his helicopter.

Re:
I've done the red/black conversion. my issue is the lock on drivers side, it keeps slipping and wont lock door or actuate central locking, i can only lock/open the car on passenger side door. so if i just get a remote module connected to the central locking ecu i should be fine, wat ya think?
